Re: IBM i Support till 2026

Start up of the server is still quite hard on the system but once it 
starts it works very well.  Performance of IBM Navigator for i is a bit 
dependent on tuning and memory availability but assuming those to be 
dealt with properly it performs admirably.  It is a strong improvement 
over the former web based programs (some of which are still used such as 
the web server configuration tools) but most of the items do well.  I am 
impressed with the improvements.

After the PTFs come out I would give it a try, I think the redesign and 
functionality is excellent, as well as an improvement in performance. I 
think your pretty close to dumping the Windows environment on the MAC, 
at least from Navigator's perspective.
